YouTube channels focused on bullying

Today I’ve been looking for some videos and content creators about bullying. We have been talking about the importance of explaining to the kids all the definitions and concepts related to school bullying and teaching them how to detect and act when they face a case of bullying around them as a victim, bystander, or aggressor, and I believe it is important the way we teach them. Usually we pay more attention when the information is relevant or attractive to us, so I think it is important that these concepts are shown to children in a way or format that interests them. This is why I think that social media is a great place to post educational videos, which teachers can use to explain to kids important concepts like bullying and all its involved things.


One of the main social platforms that kids use is YouTube, so I have been searching for some channels that had the same idea before me and are posting content related to the topic. Here I’ll present you some of them, so all the future educators can take a look and show them to their students:


  • Bullying No Way: This British channel is managed by the Queensland Department of Education on behalf of the Commonwealth and all states and territories, as well as national Catholic and independent schooling representatives. According to themselves, the channel supports school communities with evidence-informed resources and activities for a proactive approach to bullying prevention.

  • In this channel, you can find some extended videos of professionals explaining the main concepts, some short videos of kids and teenagers sharing their experiences with bullying and answering some questions, and some animated videos to comprehend everything better, showing some situations.

  • STOMP Out Bullying: According to themselves, it is a channel that works to reduce and prevent bullying, cyberbullying, and other digital abuse, educates against homophobia, LGBTQ+ discrimination, racism, and hatred, and deters violence in schools, online, and in communities across the country. They promote civility, diversity, inclusion, equity, and equality and teach effective solutions on how to respond to all forms of bullying, as well as educating kids and teens in school and online. It provides help for those in need and at risk of suicide and raises awareness through peer mentoring programs in schools, public service announcements by noted celebrities, and social media campaigns.

This is a very diverse channel from the United States of America, with message videos of different people, including some famous and referent people, some interesting interviews, and news of all the activities and actions of the organization.

  • Fresberg Cartoon: This one is not only focused on bullying, but it has a big variety of educational videos that explain some facts, history, and other topics like leadership, communication skills, mental health, conflict resolution, how to deal with emotions and feelings, etc., all in a very simple, educational, and positive way through cartoon videos.

Brian Giner and PDA Bullying platform

  Following my last post, where I talked about the documentary Acoso Escolar from ARTE.tv, I caught my attention the figure of Brian Giner, so I decided to look into his book Golpeado pero no derrotado It’s a work for all ages in which he shares his personal experience during his school years. The author emphasizes that the book isn’t just meant for students, but also for parents and professors. Through his story, he hopes to raise awareness about the importance of taking action in cases of bullying. Apart from publishing his book, he also gives talks on bullying prevention to students in the first to third years of ESO in catalan high schools. Based on his own experience, Brian aims to shed light on cases like his so that victims don’t feel alone and can see an example of resilience. While researching his book, I came across a very interesting platform called PDA Bullying . It’s a collaborative initiative involving various institutions aimed at promoting best practices for the...

Salutogenic approach and a personal opinion

  As I briefly mentioned in my previous post, on the website called PDA Bullying , among various resources, there is a section dedicated to explain the Salutogenic approach . After doing some research, it becomes clear that this approach gets its name because its main goal is to promote health and well-being . The platform aims to address bullying from this perspective, adopting a strength-based approach that focuses on individuals' potential and the creation of a cooperative community working toward a shared goal . It slightly reminds me of the No Blame Approach we studied in class, as it also refers to a method based on compassion and a solution-focused outlook , rather than assigning blame. Their aim is not simply to act against bullying, but rather to overcome it , moving beyond a simplistic understanding of bullying as just a dynamic between two individuals. Instead, they view it as a broader social process . For this reason, the protocol designed and implemented by...

Guidelines for Bullying in German Schools

In Germany, the Ministry of Education published guidelines for schools on how to deal with bullying in schools. The following characteristics identify bullying: Intent to Harm, Repetition, Power Imbalance, and Helplessness. If bullying is detected, they provide teachers with 5 steps to follow. First, they should act immediately. This includes halting any aggressive behavior and ensuring the victim is safe. Also, they are obliged to assess if the already mentioned bullying criteria are met. Then, Teachers and school staff need to discuss the situation with colleagues to decide on the best course of action. This might involve engaging the victim and the bully in separate conversations and determining the next steps. Lastly, the victim should be provided with support to offer a safe school environment again In addition to the teacher guidelines, there are also ones for School Leadership Teams. First, they have to ensure that anti-bullying policies are being followed. This includes suppor...
